Tonight on @ndr.de (21:00): "Magisches Frankreich" premieres! 🏔️ Proud to share my drone, macro & micro videography. Producing footage in high mountain areas is challenging but rewarding! www.ardmediathek.de/video/magisc... #Cinematography #Documentary #NDR
Magisches Frankreich – Vom Mont Blanc zum Pic du Midi - hier anschauen
Im Osten der Mont Blanc, im Süden der Pic du Midi – die Alpen und die Pyrenäen markieren die Höhenlinien Frankreichs. Zwei Gebirge, geprägt von Eis, Fels und extremen Bedingungen. Über allem: der Mont...

A beautiful progression of the Feb 17th solar eclipse from Lake Untersee, East Antarctica. #SolarEclipse #Antarctica #NightSky
Today the supermoon is 30 000 km closer to Earth than the annual average. #NikonZ8 #moon #blackandwhite

So proud of my PhD supervisor and #BestBossEver @birgitsattler.bsky.social Also happy to see that the article on the @austrianpolar.bsky.social homepage features some of my photos — check it out! 📸❄️
🎉We are extremely proud that our very own APRI Director, @birgitsattler.bsky.social, has been honored as “Austrian of the Year” in the Climate Initiative category at the Austria Gala 2025! #austrianoftheyear #austriagala2025 #austrianpolarscience @uniinnsbruck.bsky.social More here👇
Aerial Alpine autumn vibes #paragliding #nature
🌌 Milky Way over Jamtalferner glowing in the night. Pure alpine magic. ✨⛰️ #Astrophotography #Alps #MilkyWay
Fitz Roy (3406 m), Patagonia — this is why I carry a camera everywhere. Clouds forming, breaking, and racing past the peaks, the drama shifting every minute. This is why I shoot timelapse. 🎥 #Timelapse #Patagonia #FitzRoy #AdventurePhotography #LandscapePhotography
✨ Huge congratulations to @birgitsattler.bsky.social on her nomination as Austrian of the Year in the Climate category! 🌍❄️ This recognition is so well deserved — her tireless glacier and climate work inspires the scientific community and beyond. 👉 Vote here: www.diepresse.com/events/austr...

Glaciers matter! What a surprise to be nominated for "Austrian of the Year" (category climate) by @diepressecom.bsky.social! It´s team effort by @weisleitner.bsky.social, @sophiamuetzel.bsky.social and great Team CRYO🙏🥰 👉https://lnkd.in/djusA_B7 @uniinnsbruck.bsky.social @austrianpolar.bsky.social
Tonight’s lunar eclipse, partly hidden by alpine peaks and drifting clouds. Still lucky enough to capture fragments of the Moon’s journey. 🌒🌕🌘
What happens when UV light hits spoiled cream cheese? A hidden microbial world starts to glow 🔬🧀✨ #SciArt #Fluorescence #Photography
❄️ Glaciers. 🌲 Forests. 🌊 Lakes. ⛰️ Summits. This 30s trailer shows how I turn research into powerful visuals. Produced for LTSER Tyrolean Alps (University of Innsbruck). 👉 Full film: www.youtube.com/watch?v=voUw... Which landscape speaks to you most? 👀 #ScienceCommunication #ClimateChange #Alps
❄️ Visited #Hintereisferner for a video project — a #glacier in Tirol’s Naturpark Ötztal ranging from 2,500–3,750 m. It holds one of the world’s longest records of glacier mass balance, a key to understanding climate change in the Alps. 📸 Film coming soon.
Some climbs are for science, all climbs are for perspective. #Mountaineering #Adventure #SummitViews #MountainLife
Winding down the day with a peaceful flight and a sky painted in blue 💙
Rainy weekend? 🌧️ Grab a UV light and explore! These isopods under a lichen patch glow blue, red is likely chlorophyll‑a fluorescence. This photo is a stack of 400 RAW images! ✨🪲💡 #UVfluorescence #MacroPhotography #Isopod #Biodiversity #Laowa #HeliconFocus
Pollinators are in global decline—yet we depend on their ecosystem services, from healthy ecosystems to food security. Visualizing them shows what’s disappearing—and why we must act to protect them. 🌸 Protect pollinator habitats, protect our future. European Environment Agency: tinyurl.com/yc4pp3ps
Check out this time-lapse video of waves eroding an ice front from an experiment conducted in our cryogenic wave tank at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The tank is housed in a walk-in freezer, and the waves are precisely controlled. This video captures about an hour of wave erosion.
Everyone needs a way to clear their mind. This is mine. 🪂 Over Innsbruck, above the noise. #Paragliding #Innsbruck #Views
Ich habe zufällig mal in #3sat reingeschaut und sofort @weisleitner.bsky.social bei der Beprobung von #Mikroplastik in #Kanada und #Grönland gesehen 😲 Sehr sehr spannend ✌️ 📺 lnkd.in/gDJGNeUw 🐳🛥️🐻❄️

Die Arktis, das Gebiet rund um den Nordpol, gehört zu den am wenigsten erschlossenen Gegenden der Erde. Eine Region mit magischer Anziehungskraft.

My interview with @nature.com “A new direction in our work is to understand the microbial inhabitants of the atmosphere. Is it just a dispersal mechanism for dormant cells, or does it harbour active microbes that grow and divide?” Thanks James Crow & @jacopaso.bsky.social ❄️ tinyurl.com/42u5tz5c

Today we escaped the heat by hiking 1300m uphill in the Tyrolean Alps. This view never gets old 😍 #Kalkkögel #LandscapePhotography
